After becoming rich overnight, I handed over the system.

Chapter 165 The Choice Given by the Crown Prince's Wife

Bai Hua said, "We should not only call the police, but also make a big fuss about it and let the whole country know about it. This is not only for us to seek justice, but I also hope that through this incident, we can bring hope to the sisters who have not escaped. If we remain silent, they will never have the chance to leave the mountains. Only when more and more people pay attention to this matter will the country's crackdown efforts be strengthened, and those human traffickers will not dare to act rashly."

Yes, they were lucky enough to escape, but what about the women who are still trapped in the mountains? Don't they deserve a hope?

"I'm willing. I can make everything about myself public, even if there are rumors and gossip, I'm not afraid," Wang Dan stated first.

"Yes, I can too. I'm not afraid. I also want more sisters to be saved."

"I'd love to!"

"willing!"

Finally, the group followed Bai Hua to the police station. The officer taking their statements was stunned as he listened to their story of how they escaped the mountains.

"You're not telling a story, are you?"

Knowing they didn't believe him, Bai Hua led them directly to the police station entrance and released the multi-functional tricycle.

The policeman rubbed his eyes. "A car that miraculously came to life?"

He immediately realized the importance of the matter, invited them inside, and reported to his superiors.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that Bai Hua and the others had successfully escaped. As for what to do next, that was up to them.

Li Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw them return safely.

"Miss Li, the Crown Princess summons you!"

Li Mingyue patted the flour in her hand, "Here it is!"

Actually, she sighed inwardly, thinking that after she entered the Prince of Qin's mansion, her life didn't seem to have changed much.

Her parents had tried to find her several times before, but they were always indifferent to her, so they eventually stopped coming altogether.

She knew that her parents probably felt guilty and still cared about her at first, so they wanted to come and see her.

Later on, her cousin finally showed his true colors, causing the shop to go out of business, and then started a new business with her grandparents and others.

"Mingyue, Mother was wrong. Mother shouldn't have trusted your cousin. He's a wolf in sheep's clothing. Mingyue, can you please..."

"No!" Li Mingyue knew what her mother meant. She just wanted her to ask the young master for help and then find fault with Li Zhuzi.

But why would she do that?

Didn't they choose Li Zhuzi themselves? Her parents kept calling him "brother," and her sister kept calling him "cousin." She was the only one who suffered injustice from beginning to end.

Now you expect her to shamelessly beg for favors? Doesn't she have any shame?

"Mingyue! How could you be so heartless! Are you not even your mother's daughter anymore? You won't even help your mother with such a small thing!"

"Mother, have you forgotten that I've already been sold into servitude? Strictly speaking, I'm no longer your daughter. I'm heartless. Why don't you go and beg the young master yourselves? Why do you come here and make me beg?"

Li Mingyue's mother, having her thoughts exposed, said somewhat evasively, "We're not familiar with the young master, but Mingyue, aren't you? Please help your parents."

“I know, but how could a servant like me have the face to ask the young master for help? I’m sorry, I can’t help you with this. Mother, you don’t need to worry. Even if you lose the shop, I’ve left you the house and the money, enough for your family to live on.” Li Mingyue didn’t say anything more and turned to go into the mansion.

"Mingyue, Mingyue!" Mingyue's mother didn't dare to chase after them after all. They still had a house and money, but without the shop, they couldn't just live off their savings. What would happen to her son when he grew up and needed to go to school?

They came to see Li Mingyue several more times, each time bringing up the shop and Li Mingyue's younger brother. Later, Li Mingyue simply didn't want to see them anymore, and when they realized they couldn't see her, they stopped coming.

Li Mingyue followed the servants to the courtyard where the Crown Princess was.

The Crown Princess was sitting in the pavilion enjoying tea when she saw Li Mingyue approaching. She raised her eyes slightly and said, "Please sit down."

Li Mingyue sat down as instructed, wondering what the Crown Princess wanted to see her about.

"Miss Li, I heard that the Crown Prince has granted you permission to enter the manor as a cook and has not yet taken away your indenture. Recently, I have heard some things. I wonder what Miss Li thinks of the Crown Prince?" The Crown Princess gently put down her teacup, but her words struck Li Mingyue like a thunderbolt.

"Princess Consort, I swear to God, I have absolutely no improper thoughts about the Prince." Li Mingyue was so frightened that she immediately stood up.

“Miss Li, you jest. I only overheard some words and had no intention of blaming you. In my opinion, if Miss Li is willing, this would be a very good thing,” the Crown Princess continued.

Li Mingyue was taken aback, not expecting the Crown Princess to say such a thing.

"Your Highness is too kind. The Crown Prince is such a noble person, while I am just a commoner. I really have no improper thoughts about the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince may have agreed to let me be a cook because he is kind-hearted and remembers that we fled the famine together, which is why I was able to enter the manor. But I would never dare to curry favor with the Crown Prince."

"Don't be so nervous, come and sit down. I didn't mean to blame you. But if you have no feelings for the Crown Prince, what do you think of Qin Da? I heard you two got along well when you were fleeing the famine, that's a kind of fate." The Crown Princess continued.

"Thank you, Princess Consort. Although Brother Qin is a good person, I am not considering marriage for the time being," Li Mingyue said, forcing herself to decline.

"A girl will eventually get married, and it would be wonderful if you could find someone to take care of you. Think about what I brought up today. Alright, I'm tired, you may leave." The Crown Princess waved Li Mingyue away.

A chill ran through Li Mingyue's heart. "Yes, Princess Consort, I'll take my leave."

She originally thought that she would be a dispensable person in this prince's mansion, and that would be fine.

Now it's her turn to get married. Thinking of the rumors circulating in the Prince's mansion, she really has no feelings for the young master, and he probably has even less of a feeling for her. The young master is only thinking about the slight gratitude he felt for her offering medicine.

As for Qin Da, Li Mingyue could sense a different emotion from him, but she really didn't like Qin Da and didn't want to force herself.

However, judging from the Crown Princess's words, she had to make a choice.

Does entering the Prince's mansion mean I can't escape the fate of marriage? Why must I get married?

She chose to tough it out; she didn't want to get married so easily. She ignored the Crown Princess's advice to think it over and continued to do as she pleased.

Fortunately, the Crown Princess had already investigated and dealt with those rumors, so no one dared to cricket in front of her anymore.

However, Li Mingyue was extremely distressed, not knowing how long the Crown Princess's patience would last.
